Commerce Builds Basic Skills And Business Art Miss Callison and Mr. Pavlak ponder the intricacies of a new computer. VOCATIONAL TRAINING for the business field is offered in the Commercial Department curriculum. Commercial courses supply not only unlimited op- portunity for students planning to pursue a career in business, but also offer specialized subjects, such as personal typing and shorthand which aid in im- proving study habits and skills. Frances and Nancy use an audio tape to develop telephone answering skills. Jody and Larry do some extra typing to build up speed. No strike-overs, boys! Marie Conklin and Nancy Bird are mimeographing the school paper, The Mattitalk. 26

Antigone ... The corpse of Eurydice is laid before Creon. Mrs. Connors and Mrs. Tuthill have made our library one of the best in the area. The Language Arts Dept. Uses New Methods LANGUAGE-ARTS STAFF: (L to R) Mr. John Miesner, Mr. Bruno Brauner, Mr. Richard Bath, Mr. Bruce Zcbroski. Students of Mattituck High are finding in language-arts a stimulat- ing experience through the use of panel and round table discus- sions. Modern teaching tools have also changed the face of the classroom. The department uses its tape recorder for speech im- provement and word study and its record player for the study of poetry, the drama and foreign language. This year, as in the past, the Language Arts Department served as the activity core of the high school. Mr. Bruno Brauner pro- duced an exciting Senior-Junior Play and Mr. John Meisner directed the Annual Variety Show and a production of the Greek drama, “Antigone.” Mr. Fisher of Industrial Arts is the main-stay of any produc- tion. 25

Scientific study is not introductory subject matter to an incoming seventh grader because he has al- ready been exposed to many of science’s concepts in the elementary grades. Realizing, therefore, that science is, by many indications, the bulwark of his times, the student expands and heightens his knowl- edge as he travels through the Mattituck High sci- ence department. He is constantly exposed to high standards and forward-looking objectives, and the thoroughness involved in a geometry, biology, trig- onometry, chemistry or physics course gives him more than ample opportunity to reap many rich benefits. If excellent achievement results in one of these areas, a place in an honors class is open to him. Quality and quantity co-exist in Mattituck’s science and math program. Together, these com- ponents help to present and to portray this media from which life’s elements evolve. THE SCIENCE AND MATH STAFF: First Row (L to R): John Zabaronick, Roland Sherwood. Second Row: Benjamin Lupia, Arthur McCaw, Richard Brooks. (Not in Picture) Robert Grudop. Mr. Krudop explains surveying techniques to his senior section. Mr. Sherwood interprets a physics formula for D. Charkow. 27
